Paul Felder had himself a night at UFC 226 against Mike Perry. As their fight went on, pieces of Felder began to break, open, and fall off. Despite all of the bumps and bruises, Felder continued on but dropped a split decision to Perry. When all was said and done, Feder had a broken arm and multiple gashes on his person.

Today, Felder showed us what he looked like after the fight and he looks terrific; If he was Bela Lugosi starring as Frankenstein.

It sounds as if he broke his ulna or radius in the fight and that was a big hinderance on him doing much of anything. Then there were all of the head gashes he sustained. In sort, Felder was a mess.

Now, a few days later, Felder is cleaned up and is acting like a realtor giving us a home tour of his injuries. That is one tough Irish Dragon.

Mike Perry always has something to say. It’s not always politically correct and it certainly isn’t for everybody. The promo that he cut for his UFC 226 fight with Paul Felder, however, is pretty legendary. He brings it all, in this hyped up interview. Who, what, when, why, and how are all covered by the Platinum one.

In fact, Perry is so hyped up that reporters ask him what he’s been eating. As if his diet has anything to do with his outrageous behavior. Perry genoerously goes over the food that he’s been eating that day.

He actually sounds like someone that is inebriated who has been arrested. Alas, it’s just a sober guy who is really excited to fight.

Paul Felder almost got screwed out of fighting for the second time this year. The first time, Felder was supposed to fight Al Iaquinta. Al steps in to a title fight with Khabib Nurmagomedov and Felder is left without an opponent. This time, Mike Perry was set to fight Yancy Medeiros at UFC 226 and Felder was scheduled to fight James Vick.

Al Iaquinta was scheduled to fight Justin Gaethje in August, but Al Iaquinta pulled out of the fight. James Vick, who was scheduled to fight Paul Felder in two weeks, stepped in to take Al’s place. Once again, this left Felder without a fight.

Yancy Medeiros suffered a rib injury and pulled out of his fight with Mike Perry at UFC 226, next week. Felder has stepped up in weight and is taking that fight.

Got all that? If not, the UFC also gave an explanation on their official site.

“It was a rollercoaster 24 hours for “The Irish Dragon,” but Paul Felder has a fight in July, albeit one he didn’t expect.

Originally scheduled to face fellow lightweight contender James Vick on July 14 in Boise, Felder saw that fight get scrapped when Vick replaced Al Iaquinta in the UFC Lincoln main event against Justin Gaethje on August 25.

But all was not lost for Felder, as an injury to Yancy Medeiros forced the Hawaiian out of his UFC 226 bout against Mike Perry on July 7 in Las Vegas. Felder immediately went to social media to express his desire to move up to the welterweight division for one night to face Perry. A couple hours later, the fight was made, and now it’s Felder vs Perry at T-Mobile Arena.”

Al Iaquinta notified the UFC he would not be fighting Geathje in Lincoln. Justin Gaethje didn’t have to wait long for a replacement to be announced once, Al Iaquinta bowed out of the fight for undisclosed reasons. The UFC turned to 11th ranked James Vick and plugged him into the fight. That leaves Paul Felder … Read moreMusical Chairs, Al Iaquinta out, James Vick in versus Justin Gaethje

Like a boss, Dan Hooker did some serious work in the Octagon on Saturday night. First, when he knocked out perennial top lightweight, Jim Miller. Then, when he called out the guy interviewing him, Paul Felder. It certainly took some big brass ones to do all of this, but that is seemingly how you get ahead in the UFC these days.

Felder didn’t seem to mind, however. In fact, he said he was waiting for someone to step up and call him out so he had someone to fight. Felder has been without a fight since Conor McGregor ruined UFC 223 with his dolly throwing BS. Felder was supposed to fight Al Iaquinta, but Al stepped up and faced Khabib Nurmagomedov, leaving Felder opponent-less.

Conor McGregor and the NYSAC have thrown the UFC into chaos First, it was Conor going full berserker in Brooklyn yesterday, and now the NYSAC has followed suit today.
